Copenhagen, July 18, 2024

Highlights

Business continues to perform strongly. Highly focused strategy solving digital challenges for our Restaurant Partners continues to reap rewards to the benefit of both our Restaurant Partners and OrderYOYO

H1 2024 results show higher growth in ARR and Net Revenue than prior guidance. June 2024 ARR is thus DKK 302m – highest ever realised ARR - corresponding to a growth of 23% compared to June 2023. H1 2024 Net Revenue is DKK 148m corresponding to a growth of 28% compared to H1 2023

Net Revenue performed stronger than current guidance and 2024 Net Revenue Guidance is thus increased to DKK 290-300m from currently DKK 280-290m

H1 2024 EBITDA at DKK 22.8m, 153% above H1 2023 EBITDA of DKK 9.0m, tracking ahead of current guidance for the full year of DKK 43-48m. H1 2024 Cash EBITDA at DKK 10.0m, DKK 15m above H1 2023 Cash EBITDA, also tracking ahead of current guidance for the full year

Profitability thus keeps performing stronger than anticipated and consequently we raise EBITDA and Cash EBITDA guidance for 2024

EBITDA guidance raised to DKK 45-50m from currently DKK 43-48m corresponding to a full year 2024 EBITDA margin of 16-17% increased from currently 15-17%. Cash EBITDA guidance is raised to DKK 17-22m from currently DKK 15-20m

OrderYOYO consolidation strategy and Path to Profitability Strategy initiated in 2022 is showing results ahead of time

During the period 2018 to 2021 OrderYOYO’s main focus was on GMV and ARR growth. In these years OrderYOYO quadrupled ARR. Coming out of Covid, OrderYOYO took the strategic decision to implement a more balanced growth strategy with equal focus on profitability. Two main components were expected to drive profitability – operational leverage; i.e., the ability to do more with the same amount of resources, and an active M&A strategy.

OrderYOYO has now been EBITDA profitable since July 2022 and Cash EBITDA profitable since June 2023 while maintaining a revenue growth significantly higher than the underlying market growth. These vital strategic milestones are driven by relentless focus on delivering value to our Restaurant Partners, market leadership focus, strong commitment to profitable growth, increased economies of scale resulting from OrderYOYO’s consolidation strategy and a strict focus on cost management.

As European market leader, we keep seeing increased consolidation opportunities in our markets. Our consolidation strategy focuses on two types of acquisition targets:

1. Local market leaders in European countries where OrderYOYO is currently not present to expand our European market leading position, and
2. Local participants in the markets where OrderYOYO is already market leader to drive economies of scale and increased profitability for the Group

EBITDA guidance was significantly raised at the Q4 2023 current trading announcement (stock announcement number 69) and at the Q1 2024 current trading announcement (stock announcement number 72). H1 24 EBITDA results shows that increase in profitability is happening at a faster and stronger pace. Guidance for 2024 EBITDA is thus raised to DKK 45-50m corresponding to an EBITDA margin guidance of 16-17% - an increase from earlier EBITDA margin guidance of 15-17%. H1 2024 EBITDA margin was realised at +15%.

As we continue our growth, both organically and through consolidation, economies of scale and cost control will increase EBITDA. In addition, acquisitions of local participants in markets where we are already market leader will provide the opportunity to increase profitability through cost savings and efficiency gains.

We are confident that our strategy will result in a continued expansion of our EBITDA margin in the coming years and our long-term EBITDA target is +25%.

In addition to increased profitability, we continue to see strong growth in ARR, GMV and Net Revenue growing at 23%, 26% and 28%, respectively.
